The Illinois Department of Public Health is working to centralize COVID-19 contact tracing efforts in the state. All positive cases entered into the State’s data systems associated with a cell phone number will receive an automated text message from health officials. This process is designed to get information about isolation and identifying close contacts to infected individuals as soon as possible.
